white is not even a color...

I spent my day with my girlfriend, we had to go to Metropolitan Museum to check out pre-colonial stuff. It was indeed a very nice experience, I don't even know if "very nice" is enough to describe the wonderful sight that we saw earlier this day. But aside from the proud feeling that I got to see those properties that once belonged to our ancestors, I really started feeling sad as I continue with my tour on that floor of the pre-colonial artifacts of our country. Not that the artifacts were already falling apart, as a matter of fact they were preserved very well by the museum people, you would know that this floor is the most valued part of the place because of the hi-tech security system that they have on that particular floor. By looking at the artifacts, you would have a slight idea on how our ancestors lived during the early times... they lived great! They had a concept of design and fashion... they had a civilization. The jars that were made by our ancestors were finely done, it was just not any ordinary "palayok", it had intricate designs and well molded shapes. Now after you have seen the collection of jars, move to the next room and you'll see the jewelry collection of the native Filipinos, which was not good... it's MAGNIFANTABOLOUS (magnificent, fantastic, fabolous)! Our ancestors were filthy rich, our nation is wealthier than what we imagine and by looking at the ancestors you would know that there was order, there were people ruling the nation. We were already a civilized nation even before these foreigners came to "save us from ignorance". How dare them say that we were ignorant when we know how to make things that we need?! How dare them call us uncivilized when have people already ruling in the country even before they came?! It is very saddening when you come to think about it, that many of the ancient Filipinos had to die because we needed the so called saving from the Westerners, they made us believe that we were ignorant and that we needed help from them. To that I say "BULLSHIT"! We had our own identity, culture, religion and ways to make our country work well, the way it has been working very well before these white people came here to colonize us. Some who will read this article would say that this should not be an issue anymore for the colonizers have long been gone. Well... are they? Are we really free? No, we're not! Have you seen a magazine that has a colored cover but when you look inside it is just black and white? WE are like that magazine, these colonizers (not just Spain) say that we are already free from them but the truth is we are not. If we are free from them, then we should be doing away with the imposed things by the Catholic Church on us, I am not saying that we shouldn't be recognizing a Supreme Being, all I am trying to say is that we let the church judge us on the things that we do when they do evil things as well and get away with it when they get caught. If we are free, then how come every move that our government makes or will make should have their consent or approval. When will we end this corruption of the Filipino people? What will be left for us? We have a country who has an administration that serves the interests of these foreign countries and at the same time steal from the people of the very nation that they should be serving. Let us be free... let us bring back the freedom that our ancestors once have. Fight against IMPERIALISM! Fight against this corrupt government, which is an ally of these imperialists. We will never have a better life, the good life that the early Filipinos once have if these two elements are here to stay. We can beat them if we want to, we just have to FIGHT! Besides, who are these white people? White isn't even a color!"
